Shake that booty

Every day Mama and I dance to the music! These aren't my best moves of course, it's a couple of weeks ago now. I've learn't to moonwalk and tango since then.

My first Birthday Party!

So I know you've all been hanging out for my birthday snaps... Mama says sorry because she didn't take many photos :(

Grandpa, do you have photos from the day?

I had the bestest day! I only had 40 minutes sleep during the day and with Mama baking all morning I wasn't getting any attention, I was MAD MAD MAD! But then all these people came over to my house and brought me all these presents and told me how cute I was. So of course I was the happiest boy ever!

Thank you to everyone for all of my presents, my toy box is overloaded with toys. I got books, musical toys, a sweet train set, another train, clothes, a wooden police car, an abacus, balls, a soft toy, oh and a Beagle dog & Penthouse Magazine from the Dunedin boys... Dadda confiscated it though, mean Dadda, I like books!

Thank you Aunty Beej and Uncy Hunts for my new drum kit that arrived in the mail tonight, I love it! I'll upload a video of drummer boy soon. Better watch out Muzza, I'm the new drummer boy now!

So here are some snaps from the day, sorry there's not more.

Mama's training me to play for the All Blacks. Thanks Uncy Pims for the rugby ball!

Anna and Bump.

Me and my friend Atti.

Blurry cupcakes & lollies, yummmeeee!

Atti stole my bike!

Me with Ma and Pa.

Chocolate Cake by Mama.

Nom nom nom...

-Actually I wasn't that into the chocolate cake, I only had one bite. Lucky Mama made me Apple cake for my real birthday or I would have given her the beats.

My cuz Charlotte, she's nearly crawling!

Unwrapping my presents! Actually Mama unwrapped them all, she was like a crazy person!

Next day, while Dadda went to the Grand Prix Mama and I played with my new toys.

Peekaboo!

Thanks again for such a swell party everyone, thanks for helping with the food Grandma!

Lots of Love,

Big Boy Leo kun

Hi Everyone!

Today I turned ONE ! That's right, the BIG 1 !

I spent the day having fun times with Mama and Anna, here's my pics for you all to enjoy. I had the bestest day, this morning a box of balloons arrived at the door from Grandpa and Grandma, THANK YOU! How did you know I love balloons? Then I had a skype session with my Aunty Andy and Uncy Hank... I showed them my clapping and my best dancing moves.

Anna and Josh got me a big balloon also, and a cricket set to smash Aussie in the Cricket when I'm older!!

Thanks for my presents team! I will see you Saturday for my big PARTY!!! Wooohooo

We picked up Anna and I got presents!

Don't forget to check my blog after the weekend to check out all the photos from my very first birthday party !

First Day at Childcare!

I'm oh so independent now. Today I had orientation at Childcare. Mama took me in for an hour to play with the other kids. I had the best time. When all the mama's left their babies in the room the other babies started crying, but I didn't, I'm a big boy! Actually I was having so much fun I didn't even notice she was gone. I can't wait to go back for more orientation on Thursday!

Weeeoooooo I'm turning ONE !!!

Peekaboo! It's my birthday on Tuesday and I'm beyond excited! I'm finally getting a real digit as an age! Mama said it doesn't allow me to do anything legally yet but that's ok, Dadda already gave me my first beer at 7 months. I have a couple of new tricks to add to my CV this week, see the video below cos I can clap my hands! Oh Grandma, aren't you proud? Also, I know where my nose is, now Ma and Pa are trying to teach me where my ears are (don't tell them but I already know, I think they look so goofy trying to teach me)...

Playing 'Peekaboo' with Mama

Clapping my hands:

Also, tomorrow I have 'orientation' at the the childcare centre in Northcote. Check back to see my photos of my new hangout! Dadda is nervous for me being left at the childcare with strangers but that's just silly, I way rather be smiling at strangers than hanging at home!!

Check back soon for my birthday snaps!!!

私は日本を愛して

I hope all my friends in Japan are ok. I made so many great pals in Japan who were so great, I hope everyone is ok. Mama and I had the bestest time there and can't wait to go back!

This is just a short post to let Japan know we are thinking of you, I have so many great Japan memories... here's some of my pics of my Japanese fun times...

Love Leo Kun

Please keep us informed Aunty Andy of how everyone is, tell them Kawaii baby is thinking of them.

Countdown till my birthday!

I'm turning

ALSO... A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Nanny K who also had her birthday this month. Happy birthday Nanny K, I hope to see you at Easter so we can celebrate!!

Love Wee-Man.

Ode to Christchurch...

Dear Leo Blog Followers,

How sad this past week has been... my poor country (from my mums side) has been shaken like a Protein Cream milkshake (NZ lingo). I'm so sad to see poor New Zealand suffering like this, and then Australia had the audacity to kick us while we were down in the cricket as well.

As you know I am turning ONE in three weeks... I know some of you might think of buying me a present. Because my Mama and Dadda spoil me rotten I really can't think of anything I need more than Christchurch getting back on their feet. Instead of buying me a present I would love you to use that money to donate to the fund here.

Back to me though, I have had an eventful week too. The day the quake shook I woke up with lumps and bumps all over my body, after all my mums mocking of Dadda's crappy genes it was Mama that gave me urticaria. My aunty Andy has it and so does Muzza. Apparently I am too a lumpy bumpy boy, I hope it never comes back but I fear it will.

So here are the latest pictures of me, soon to be BIG boy Leo!

Lumps (bring back memories Andysan?)
